Cloze We modern wives and mothers are breathtakingly busy. We’re already to spend quality time with our kids; we’re guilty-stricken about how little time is ( 45) for our husbands; we’re longing for a little downtime for ourselves. Just how are we supposed to find the time to have a(an) ( 46 ) conversation with anyone outside our home of office?
Supposedly, cell phones and e-mails are the answer. They allow us to( 47) those tiny windows of opportunities -- the “downtime” we experience while we’re chauffeuring around our kids,( 48 ), or waiting for a plane or a doctor. In my experience, however, real relationships are never built and (49) sustained on these exchanges. That’s because when the person you’re ( 50 ) with isn’t able to give you her full ( 51 ), it’s hard, if not possible, to feel heard, ( 52 ) understood. It fails to comfort because it’s not nurturing – kind of the way popcorn fails to satisfy, ( 53) you eat a bucketful, because it’s not nourishing.
Worse, it’s hard not to actively hate someone who( 54) your full attention when she’s only offering half of hers. I have a neighbor who has a headset mobile phone. The minute she’s in her car or otherwise multitasking, she puts in a call to me –( 55 ) my family’s dinner, summoning me in from the garden, waking us on Saturday morning on her way to the soccer practice. And for what?The tiniest of questions, the most passing of thoughts, the slightest of impulses. She has, after all, “only a minute”.
If I’ve learnt anything in my hurried life, it’s just I won’t find the time for my friends; I have to ( 48 ) it. 45、 A． left out B． left behind 46、

Reading Comprehension
Animation/emotion: Communication seen as authentic is generally passionate and animated Communication that is presented in a neutral or objective way is seen as less credible, and the motives of the speaker may be questioned. The assumption is that if you believe something, you will advocate for it. Truth is established through argument and debate. Conversational style is provocative and challenging, and the intensity is focused on the validity of the ideas being discussed. Effective teachers of African American students are often found displaying emotion to garner student respect. African Americans tend to perceive greater emotional intensity when rating the expressions of others.
Directness/indirectness: Generally directly facing and talking with the person with whom you have an issue or problem is preferred. Someone who won’t face you directly shows his or her claim or problem to be invalid; the assumption is that anyone with a legitimate problem would come to the other person directly. A lack of response to a general accusation or allegation by someone is viewed as an indication of innocence. The internal attitude of an innocent person is \know they aren’t talking about me, so I don’t have to respond.\that the \and a request to confront the person making the allegation.
In terms of romance, men and often women will usually state directly whether they are interested in a potential relationship. Ignoring or acting subtly disinterested is not interpreted as a sign of disinterest from a woman; it may be seen as a rude or arrogant response.
Teachers are often expected to show they care by \the class; exhibiting personal power; establishing meaningful personal relationships; pushing students to achieve the (class) standard; and holding the attention of the students by incorporating African-American interactional styles in their teaching\
Eye contact: Tends to be quite direct and prolonged when speaking, less so when listening. This is the opposite of the dominant-culture pattern in which the speaker tends to look away from the listener and the listener looks directly at the speaker. The overall amount of eye contact is not different from dominant-culture patterns; it is when the eye contact occurs that differs.
Gestures: Frequent and sometimes large gestures are normative. The expressiveness of the communication is what is valued, and if the gestures increase expressiveness they are seen as enhancing communication.
Identity orientation: Traditionally, African Americans have a more collateral orientation than European Americans. Self is viewed and decisions are made within the context of the group and by assessing how the action will affect others in the collateral identity group.
Turn taking and pause time: Turns are taken when the speaker is moved to speak; urgency, status, and the ability to command attention from others determines speaking order. The right to continue speaking is granted by others depending on how well the speaker’s idea is being accepted. Responses from others are usually made at the end of each of the speaker’s points and this is not felt to interruption of the speaker. Turn taking in dyads is also regulated by non-verbal cues that differ markedly from those of the dominant culture. These include: hand gestures, postural shifts which mirror the conversational partner, intonation drop, tempo slowing, and lessening of intensity. The change in gaze direction employed in the dominant culture is often not used. Pausetimeis often brief; people in groups may interrupt or speak on the ends of other’s sentences.
Space: Research on use of space among African Americans is mixed. Some studies indicate that, in race-matched pairs, black children will stand closer to each other during conversation than white children do. Other research has shown that African American adults employ a greater public distance from each other.
Time: Linear time is not internalized to the extent it is in the dominant society. Being a more relationship-oriented culture, African Americans tend to be more relaxed in this regard--\at being late is often met with puzzlement? I’mherenow, let’ set started\common response to this kind of situation.
Touch: Among friends, African Americans employ more physical touch than European Americans do and less than that usually seen among people of Latin or Arab cultures. African Americans tend to touch children more often and for greater lengths of time than do European-Americans.
Vocal patterns: Black English contains a wide range of both volume and pitch within its acceptable pattern. The voice can range from a very quiet, deep sound to very loud and high-pitched, and all may be considered appropriate. Expressiveness and compatibility with the speaking situation is what determines whether the pitch and tone are \in some other cultures.
